[edit] History
The Alliance to End Hulkamania was an alliance between two heel stables in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in early 1996 to try to get rid of Hulk Hogan. The two stables were the Dungeon of Doom and The Four Horsemen. They decided to end "Hulkamania" at the Uncensored pay-per-view on March 24, 1996, in Tupelo, Mississippi. They had a "Tower of Doom" match with several levels of cages that they were going to use to get rid of Hogan.[1]
The Dungeon brought in two monsters for this event, The Ultimate Solution and Ze Gangsta (Hogan's former World Wrestling Federation nemesis Zeus).[1][2] But Hogan didn't come alone he had his old Mega Powers team mate Randy Savage with him but they were still badly outnumbered.
The Monster Maniacs ended up winning the event when several members of the Alliance could not get along. Lex Luger was associated with the Dungeon of Doom via manager Jimmy Hart but turned on them to join the Maniacs during the match. The match was universally panned by critics and fans alike, and is often cited as one of the worst Pay Per View main events of all time, due to its confusing and inconsistent rules, and poor production.[3]
The Alliance ended after the match and the Horsemen and Dungeon started a long feud against each other which would end with the arrival of the New World Order in WCW.
[edit] Trivia
The Ultimate Solution was originally named The Final Solution, but following complaints from Jewish organizations to the Turner corporate offices, the name was changed.[1]
